I didn't catch the beginning... But Howard definitely let her do some of the speechifying she does at her concerts that he has previously ridiculed. I don't blame him. She is a big guest and seemed happy to be there. She can really sing although I think she had some electronic enhancement.

I'm not a Laday Gaga fan I listened for about 5 mins. I just don't find her that interesting it had nothing to do with the questions. He's been asking people those questions for 20 years maybe more. It shouldn't come as a shock or let down that he asks those. Its what he does. Like Letterman does the top 10, Jay does headlines etc.... Its his schtick, some people must like it. He's been doing it forever.

I thought the interview was decent...although I have found that he gets corrected by guests quite a bit. Either he has a lot of misconceptions of certain celebrities, or his show prep is non-existent.

I agree. I don't understand the haters, unless I missed something. This interview is probably one of his biggest = one of the biggest artists of the time at the top of her peak. This would be like interviewing Madonna at the peak of her career, where at that time the closest Howard could get was Madonna's sister. Or like interviewing Billy Joel in the late 1970s or early 1980s instead at the end of his career.

The interview was around an hour and a half, without a commercial break. I would bet it was her longest interview.

He never really hammered any point where she didn't really want to go = sex and money. He visited every once in a while then stepped back.

He seemed to keep a good pace to this interview. He wasn't hurried, he didn't cut her off a lot to go to another topic. No "wanna ride the sybian" question. He only mentioned his iPhone once.

Her insight into a few songs that she performed worked well. Showed that she can write and perform at the same time.

I believe that the interview was important to her as well since she separated herself from the other autotuned pop stars to many who didn't know a lot about her. A similar interview with Brittany Spears? H: tell me about your songs, BS: I don't write any of them, H: how about playing a song for us, BS: Sorry, I left my autotune gadget at home... At least Gaga could fill over an hour of interview.

I don't think the bad information is due to bad show prep. I think he purposely throws them out there to see if he can lead the interviewed into a different direction. It works sometimes. If he had good show prep and stuck with it - he would sound like the other interviewers who also had good show prep.
